00:00:49hello and welcome everybody, it's 1:30 p.m. here in the Iranian capital
00:00:52tehron, this is press tv's world news. our top story for this half
00:00:56hour, a senior commander
00:00:57of the isamic revolution guards course says Iran's armed forces are fully prepared
00:01:01to deliver
00:01:03a decisive response to any hostile action. the commander
00:01:06of the IRGC's ground forces
00:01:08of brigadier general
00:01:09of Muhammad Karami made the remarks during visit to Persian Gulf islands
00:01:13and military units
00:01:15of station there. he said Iran stands firm against its adversaries and
00:01:19will not back down. the
00:01:20of senior IRGC commander also expressed confidence that Iran and the
00:01:24resistance front will prevail. his remarks coming renewed US threats
00:01:28of aggression against Iran Iranian and officials have warned that any attack would
00:01:32trigger immediate and forceful response with no geographical
00:01:35limits.
00:01:41Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Core says two oil tankers have caught
00:01:44fire in the straight of hormos after attempting to cross
00:01:48unauthorized roots and striking sea mines. In a
00:01:52statement the
00:01:53of IRGC said, tug boat approaching one
00:01:55of the tankers to put out the fire also caught
00:01:58fire. The IRGC United States of pressuring
00:02:03of ships to use unauthorized mine laden roots in the
00:02:06in straight of hormos, it said this policy is imposing huge
00:02:10insurance costs on American taxpayers and Washington's
00:02:14regional allies. The IRGC added that Washington could have avoided these
00:02:19a of costs by unfreezing Iran's blocked assets, which are worth less than half
00:02:22of the expenses incurred so far. It also said the move could have
00:02:26spared the US president to humiliating electoral defeat.
00:02:30the IRGC warned that attempts to violate regulations in
00:02:34the straight of hormos would only bring further financial losses and
00:02:38political setbacks for Washington separately it said its navy's
00:02:41electronic warfare unit had taken control of two
00:02:45of US Lucas drone safely landed them and seized the
00:02:48aircraft.
00:02:52We were joined earlier by our colleague Farson who said that US
00:02:56President Donald Trump has suffered setbacks both at home. and on
00:03:00the battlefield and the war uh on Iran as Sehron continues to
00:03:04maintain control over the straight of
00:03:06hormos, this recent
00:03:10report basically shows
00:03:12in that how the United States and specifically the US
00:03:15president Donald Trump has been defeated and
00:03:19humiliated as we had in the news uh both
00:03:23in the politics in the midterm elections
00:03:28of in uh home and and of
00:03:30of course it it has faced another defeat and it
00:03:34is still facing very strong blow from Iran's
00:03:38armed forces uh on the battlefield, the
00:03:41reality uh Zainab is that you know
00:03:45what
00:03:46of US uh president and the US government is basically doing
00:03:50try to challenge uh Iran's control over the straight of
00:03:53homose basically warsens uh the
00:03:57من situation for the American people. and the more they
00:04:01try to challenge Iran's
00:04:03of authority uh the uh wars uh the situation
00:04:07gets for
00:04:08a everyone, not not only of course in the United States but also
00:04:12in other parts
00:04:13of the
00:04:13of world.
00:04:20France faces
00:04:24in of nationwide wave of strikes and protests says trade unions mobilize workers against rising living costs and government
00:04:28austerity measures stations brought together
00:04:31workers, high school, university students who have been
00:04:35protesting deteriorating school conditions, over crowded classrooms and
00:04:39inadequate facilities. ahead
00:04:40of the
00:04:41of strikes, France's four main rail unions condemn the government's
00:04:44of proposed budget cuts
00:04:46in warning they would deepen poverty, weaken social security
00:04:49and freeze public sector salaries. the latest
00:04:53mobilization comes as president's government struggles to push an
00:04:57of austerity budget through
00:05:01in a divided parliament with approaching 120%
00:05:02of the
00:05:03of country's economic
00:05:04output
00:05:11of
00:05:11for more Azar joins us now from the French Capital
00:05:14Paris. Let's jump right in. First of all, talk to us
00:05:17about uh the new wave of nationwide strikes
00:05:21uh that France uh is uh gearing up to face today
00:05:25and in the coming days. Yes, um, indeed, my
00:05:29colleague, the decision for this strike is not new.
00:05:33It started almost two weeks ago when the
00:05:36meeting with the government with le cornie reached
00:05:40a dead end with. eight um labor
00:05:44unions on the 21st of October, the negotiations
00:05:48over a pay rise over raising the minimum wage
00:05:52over
00:05:56um, you know doing another budget and and and
00:06:00and facing this authority budget reached a that and then
00:06:03and since then eight unions eight labor
00:06:06unions decided that it's time for a general
00:06:10um strike here. in Paris, the images
00:06:14here are of city that is very much slowed
00:06:18down, not completely shut down, but very much
00:06:22disrupted, but what what usually took,
00:06:25what usually takes me 30 minutes to to to a trip of 30
00:06:28minutes took me this morning two hours,
00:06:32the most the training stations here um usually crowded
00:06:35today are dead empty because commuters
00:06:39decided that um they're not going to work because
00:06:42because the um lines of transports are
00:06:46very much disrupted, here I'm standing right now in in in
00:06:50in in Gardulon and this is Gardinor sorry, and
00:06:54this is Paris's most crowded
00:06:58train station, but it doesn't look so um um
00:07:01today, it is the frequency of most the
00:07:05trains run a very low frequency and
00:07:09as the day unfolds we will we will see how
00:07:13how how the numbers of most the
00:07:17striking sectors will
00:07:19be? right, so let's also
00:07:23talk about the heavy-handed uh police crackdown and
00:07:26police response that we've seen uh in the face
00:07:30these nationwide protests exactly,
00:07:34exactly, mean the police brutality scenes in France over
00:07:38the last month have become something mandain and
00:07:41something... usual, I mean even here around the Gardenor,
00:07:45the police presence is quite heavy today,
00:07:49as um
00:07:51usually in the last weeks, 70
00:07:55policemen will be deployed, um, helicopters to monitor the
00:07:59demonstrations will be deployed, drones as well, it feels
00:08:03like the country is not actually um witnessing peaceful
00:08:07demonstrations, it feels like it's witnessing wars of
00:08:10aggressions, um, these... these tactics or
00:08:14these approaches don't usually come from so-called
00:08:17liberal western democracy, just last
00:08:20week after the last week's
00:08:23demonstrations, more than 200's
00:08:26demonstrator was detained and was kept
00:08:30detained, since the beginning of this
00:08:34movement and this mobilization,
00:08:37over 3ous demonstrators were detained,
00:08:40many, many, many them were minors. and many them um
00:08:44um were violated and brutalized by by the
00:08:47police.
00:08:51is that how durable is the movement cohesion that we're
00:08:55seeing right now? it's university students, it's trade
00:08:58unions, it's the gilet, the yellow vests uh including
00:09:02other civil society groups uh the uh the government
00:09:06of macron he has lot on his plate now doesn't he?
00:09:10yes indeed he he does have lot on his plate. and just this
00:09:13morning the the government a
00:09:17statement by the prime minister by by the government said that we
00:09:21don't have time and we do not have money to
00:09:24actually um um to actually do what you are asking
00:09:28us, you mentioned the cohesion and the the the
00:09:32unity of most the components of civil society, there's
00:09:35a there's a major theme being repeated here in
00:09:39france
00:09:41um the... calling for a conversions
00:09:45of forces, like convergence, the convergence
00:09:49delete, a convergence of struggles, so of course the
00:09:52different mosaic the social and economic formations here are
00:09:56aware their differences, but they are also aware that
00:10:00what unites them right now against the macron government
00:10:04is more than whatum makes them
00:10:08different, so all them are a
00:10:11shared... socio economic
00:10:14platform, all them one voice
00:10:17to to achieve their demands
00:10:21of raising the minimum wage, more investment
00:10:25in the public sector, tax more
00:10:28taxations from the rich and and
00:10:32especially fighting this
00:10:35degrading percious power that was severely hit
00:10:39after after the war of aggression and the disruption the
00:10:43supply chain through the state of hermus. all right, we're going
00:10:46to leave it there, that's press tv, joining us from the french capital
00:10:50Paris, moving
00:10:53on us republican.
00:10:58has filed eight articles of impeachment against war secretary. Massy says he
00:11:01plans to force house vote on the impeachment proceedings in the coming
00:11:05days. The move comes as Republicans seek to blame Hegseth for their
00:11:09mid-term election losses. some party members say he played a key
00:11:13role in convincing President Donald Trump to attack Iran without a clear exit
00:11:17strategy or plans to deal with the political fallout.
00:11:21Trump has repeatedly defended resibing him as the first.
00:11:25of his administration to support the aggression, democrats for their part have
00:11:29vowed to investigate his leadership at the pentagon, the
00:11:32inquiry could cover his handling the war on Iran as well as his
00:11:36removal of senior military officials including the chairman the
00:11:40joint chiefsus
00:11:41staff.
00:11:46US media reports that vice president is seeking to
00:11:50build new political alliance with
00:11:54disaffected. orders of President Donald Trump
00:11:57following Republicans humiliating defeat in the midterms.
00:12:01According to sources, Vance wants to establish new right, a
00:12:05broad coalition of Republicans United Around and America, first agenda, including
00:12:08avoiding foreign conflicts, tightening border controls and making life
00:12:12more affordable for Americans. On Wednesday, Vance said, the war on
00:12:16Iran was
00:12:17the real reason Republicans suffered losses in the November 3rd elections and what was
00:12:21widely interpreted as an effort to distance himself from Trump.
00:12:25he listed four steps to win back voters, ending the war in
00:12:29Iran, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting
00:12:32America first, and changing the country's relationship with
00:12:35Israel. Republicans lost the control of both houses of congress
00:12:39in Tuesday's elections, the results have been described by
00:12:43some Republicans as rejection of Trump's
00:12:45presidency.
00:12:51Political commentator um Marcy Winenegrat.
00:12:55says Trump is facing growing public opposition as democrats sweeping
00:12:59election victories exposed declining support uh for his policies
00:13:03and uh few calls within the party to cut
00:13:06funding for the war on
00:13:07Iran.
00:13:12I think the latest poll show that maybe one out of three
00:13:16support him. I would question that as a high number,
00:13:20it's probably less than that. As we saw last night, landslide victory
00:13:24a... blue tsunami, blue being democrats, not
00:13:27just elevating democrats to leadership
00:13:31in congress, the US house and senate, but across the states
00:13:35and state legislatures, so I think the writing is on
00:13:39the wall, the public in the United States wants this
00:13:43war to end now, and now the democrats
00:13:47are in in some conflict over
00:13:50what to do next, because there are two
00:13:53progressives, I'm speaking specifically of Congressman
00:13:57Rokana in the house and what I'm reading on Twitter
00:14:01on X is that Schumer who is the
00:14:04you know minority leader right now in the Senate but will be
00:14:08unless he's challenged he will be the leader the Senate come
00:14:12January and that he wants to put the vote off until after
00:14:15January whether that's logistical because he thinks then they'll
00:14:19have better chance of cutting off funds or if it's or if there's
00:14:23another reason I don't know.
00:14:27International reports and UN briefings have long alleged
00:14:31that Yemen's Thai city is under crippling humanitarian sech claiming that
00:14:35the movement of goods and passengers into and out the city is
00:14:39severely restricted, but what is the reality on the ground? Press
00:14:43TV is reporting from Thais examining conditions at the city's western
00:14:47entrance and investigating the situation at one of its main
00:14:50access
00:14:51points.
00:14:56has been cut off UN reports have echoed Saudi claims that
00:15:00sun is imposing a cripling season tires. Press TV visited
00:15:04the city's western gate to examine the actual flow of goods.
00:15:07Our footage shows trucks and other vehicles moving freely
00:15:11through the corridor. I transport weed
00:15:15into the city. There are no road problems or
00:15:18obstructions and we always pass safely.
00:15:22Official data shows that 754. Trucks and vehicles
00:15:26enter ts a matter of 24 hours, carrying hundreds of
00:15:29thousands of liters of fuel, diesel and cooking gas,
00:15:33alongside vital provisions, 70% the city's
00:15:36water well. have been turned into combat zones by
00:15:39mercenaries, despite the fighting, yemen
00:15:42continues, the road is fine, we go in
00:15:46and out daily with no issues, the road is open from
00:15:506 a.m. to 6 pm
00:15:52and everything is fine, however local authorities
00:15:56confirm the route remains open around the
00:15:59clock, the road is open
00:16:0324 hours, but mercenaries target the root after 6
00:16:06p.m. don't close it, they shoot at passing civilians
00:16:10forcing people to take shelter with us until morning, we block
00:16:14nothing except weapons, while food, petrol and diesel are
00:16:18all allowed to pass, during gold
00:16:21echoed,
00:16:24unsechoed, underscoring the real
00:16:27threat to the route, saudi claims a blockade city, but
00:16:31standing its gate today, the reality speaks for
00:16:35itself, the road is fully open, and the traffic
00:16:39is moving and the claims of an impost siege has
00:16:43proven to be
00:16:44hollow.
00:16:49tires: thousands of injured palestinians in gaz are left without
00:16:53basic assistive devices emit a collapsed healthcare system and the
00:16:57ongoing Israeli blockade with wheelchair and ports restricted and
00:17:01market prices soaring, even everyday movement has become a major
00:17:04struggle for families forced to carry their loved. runs across
00:17:08devastated areas press is compounded by the Israeli
00:17:11blockade that prevents the entry of wheelchairs and
00:17:15other assistive devices. nabil's story mirrors this
00:17:18painful reality. having lost both legs in an air
00:17:22strike, his life is now confined to arim tent,
00:17:25relying entirely on his wife for his daily needs. nabil
00:17:29aways a wheelchair ease the heavy burden she
00:17:33carries every day. all need
00:17:37right now. now as a prosthetic limb or a wheelchair to regain my mobility,
00:17:41but with the border crossings closed, nothing is coming in, and whatever is
00:17:44available in the market is far too expensive for me to afford. On top of
00:17:48that, living in tense makes using a wheelchair extremely difficult because the roads
00:17:52are destroyed and the area is completely unpaved. The wheelchair behind
00:17:56me is old, worn out, and practically unusable. My wife is the one
00:18:00who carries me, helps me to the bathroom and takes care of all my daily
00:18:03needs. In another tragedy of displacement,
00:18:0710 year old Haidar lost his leg an air strike a
00:18:11school where he and his family had sought shelter. he had
00:18:15been playing in the school yard just moments before the misal
00:18:19truck killing and injuring
00:18:21thousands. i found my son hydar
00:18:25injured alongside another young girl after the bombing that took place early
00:18:282024 when four missiles targeted the school where we were
00:18:32sheltering as displaced people.
00:18:36following his injury, mother secured a medical
00:18:39referral for him to travel abroad and receive a prostatic
00:18:43lamp. the prosthetic has become m and
00:18:46unuusable, leaving him back at square one and in
00:18:50need of new assistive
00:18:51equipment. i could hardly believe it when
00:18:55hydar's medical evacuation referral came through. the ministry of health
00:18:59called
00:18:59me to arrange his travel to Egypt for treatment accompanied by his
00:19:03grandmother. i have two other disabled children, they all
00:19:07desp. need wheelchairs, which are much more practical for them than
00:19:10prosthetic limbs, because they allow them to move around more
00:19:13easily.
00:19:17navigating dirt roads littered with rebel and waste, a child
00:19:21depived of a play and an eldery person weakened by illness and
00:19:24displacement, face the same harsh reality, unable to
00:19:28move without assistance. both depend on loved ones
00:19:32who carry them along this difficult path every
00:19:35day.
00:19:40well
00:19:40this just in the Iranian army says that another oil tanker has caught
00:19:44fire after hitting a sea mine and an unauthorized root in the straight of hormos
00:19:48will keep you posted on the details of that story much more as we get it for you right here
00:19:52on press tv. however, opposition parties in Italy have submitted a
00:19:56proposed legislation aiming to prohibit imports of goods and services
00:20:00produced in Israeli settelments. in the occupied west bank, the proposal
00:20:03comes amit increasing calls within Europe to sever economic tie.
00:20:08with Israel, max reports from
00:20:09Rome.
00:20:13Italy's opposition parties presented a bill to the lower house on
00:20:17Tuesday that imposes legislative ban on importing goods
00:20:21and services from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied
00:20:24Palestinian territories, including Alkuds, speaking
00:20:28before the Italian parliament, former Italian prime minister and five
00:20:32star movement leader Giuseppe Conte also announced
00:20:36that this party will.
00:20:50We must decide, do we want an Italy rooted in our constitutional
00:20:54principles that abides to international law or an Italy defined by
00:20:58cowardice? I remind you that I imposed a permanent block on arms
00:21:02exports to Saudi Arabia when it was committing war crimes in
00:21:05Yemen. Italy imports
00:21:08over 1 billion euros worth of goods and services from
00:21:12Israel annually contributing to the illegal occupation the
00:21:16Palestinian territories through displacement land.
00:21:25Israeli settlers are all
00:21:26criminals,
00:21:30they sell us goods including agricultural products and manufactured goods produced
00:21:34in Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. Some
00:21:38EU countries, including Spain and Slovenia have already adopted
00:21:42measures effectively banning trade with Israeli settler
00:21:45settlements, while Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands are
00:21:49considering adopting similar legislation. Italy's
00:21:52right-wing government of Prime Minister Georgia Meloni has been one of
00:21:56Europe's stunchest allies the Israel since it came into
00:22:00office in 2022. In April this year, Rome
00:22:04announced it would suspend a two decade old Defense
00:22:08Cooperation agreement with Tel Aviv, move that many
00:22:11downplayed as merely symbolic. There
00:22:15has been no suspension whatsoever. In fact, the Italian
00:22:19government. continues to maintain cooperative and collaborative
00:22:23relations, both military and economic with Israel, nothing
00:22:27has stopped, and there is ongoing complicity with the Israeli
00:22:30terrorist, genocidal and criminal government, all of this is
00:22:34unacceptable, and for this very reason, Italy's government
00:22:38must go. the bill to ban trade with Israeli
00:22:41settlements was introduced in the Italian parliament as
00:22:44emergency measure, but the majority of law makers
00:22:48rejected the element of emergency.
00:23:32when bombs stop falling, casualty figures are tallied, names are
00:23:36added to lists, but numbers cannot measure the lives that
00:23:40unravel after the explosions. wars count those killed by
00:23:44missiles, they rarely count those who survived them and
00:23:48may later die of grief. Yes, you heard that right,
00:23:51great. 31 year old sayid became
00:23:55one of those in the early hours of March 26, a US
00:23:59is really strike reduced her family home after neighborhood
00:24:03to rubble, her husband, local football coach Hussein
00:24:07Maliki and their two young sons, age five and
00:24:11three were killed, around them, nine homes were destroyed and
00:24:1424 people died from the US Israely attack. Alham
00:24:18survived for seven hours. rescuers searched through
00:24:21concrete and twisted steel before pulling her from beneath the
00:24:25depre. the fallen sofa had shielded her head from the
00:24:29collapsing building, but her injuries were severe. her greatest
00:24:33wounds however were invisible. weeks later, a video of
00:24:37elham standing on the ruins of her home spread across
00:24:40Iran. in her hands was a hand-ritten note rescued from the
00:24:44rubble one her young son had written before the
00:24:48attack. as she read it, Her voice faltered, around
00:24:51her lay the remains the life she had built. Her
00:24:55father says that after losing her husband, her children,
00:24:59and her home, she was never the same. She withdrew from
00:25:03the world, spoke constantly of her family and
00:25:07struggled to bear even ordinary sounds. After more than
00:25:11two months of overwhelming grief, after losing her family a
00:25:14US-Israely attack, she suffered fatal stroke and
00:25:18died. Her stories sticks to a quieter taller war of
00:25:22survivors who carry the destruction with them
00:25:25long after the dust settles. It also reflects a wider
00:25:29pattern of U.S. Israeli aggression across the region that has
00:25:33left behind a deeper tool, not only a single moment of
00:25:37impact, but in the lasting human consequences that
00:25:41follow.
00:26:05"And now let's hear what President Trump has to say about oil
00:26:08prices. I never say this, because and watch, they'll cut all
00:26:12of this stuff out and they'll leave the little sentence at it. Our
00:26:16country is making more money than it's ever
00:26:20made because the fact that oil is so high. Now they're going to
00:26:23say, isn't it terrible? He talked about
00:26:27the fact that he doesn't care about the little
00:26:31person they call." and I care more about the little person than I care about the big
00:26:35person, I care about the little person like crazy, we're
00:26:39winning, we're winning that one, very big by the way, in case you haven't

00:28:04Welcome to Women of Resistance, Zahar Ahmad Abdul
00:28:07Rabu Al Ashmana lived a four story building with her
00:28:11entire extended family before the genocide
00:28:14in Gaza began. The Zionis not only
00:28:18turned her home into rubble, but they murdered her husband,
00:28:22her brothers, cousins and grandmother. Zahar
00:28:26says life in Gaza is beyond difficult currently,
00:28:30but despite that even if one child exists in
00:28:33Gaza, they will
00:28:35not allow it to be
00:28:36occupied.
00:28:43Palestine lives in your heart, and for those who are
00:28:47truly people the land, it is everything, the
00:28:50history and family, but what happens when a genocide
00:28:54causes those shifting sounds to
00:28:56move.

00:29:40incredibly tragic story to share, one of displacement in the
00:29:44responsibility of losing her husband to the murder's actions

00:29:52of most high sustains
